Create a listingThings to consider when selling a car
Before you can sell your car, you need to be thoroughly prepared by ensuring that your vehicle is in the most suitable condition for sale and that it is valued at the most appropriate price.
Before you even think about placing an ad, be sure that you have cleaned both the interior and exterior of your vehicle, have topped up your water and oils and have had your vehicle efficiently reviewed and major problems fixed by a creditable mechanic.
In addition, make sure that you have all of the required paperwork including a copy of your vehicle title, service records and receipts of any recent repairs or tire changes at hand so that potential buyers can easily view through it if needed.
Placing an ad with Pinoy Auto Trader can be done in four easy steps. However, before you begin writing you need to start thinking about setting the right price for your car. To do this, you may consider having your car valued by an automotive expert or you can look at the prices of similar vehicles in existing listings on Pinoy Auto Trader.
Once you’ve got the price set in your mind, you need to start collecting some photographs of your vehicle - this is a trialled and proven way to significantly increase viewings of your advertisement listing. Some things to consider are that:
- Your car is clean and tidy
- Take photographs during good weather in well lit locations
- Make sure you can fit your whole car in the photograph and that there are no objects obstructing the shot
- Photograph important areas of the car such as the interior, wheel trims and under the hood
- Make sure your photos are in focus
After your photos are saved, you’ll need to start writing your advertising listing. It is important that you write your ad in a way which it can be read easily and which up-sells important features of your vehicle. Remember to include the key features of your vehicle, including any specialist equipment such as air conditioning or sound systems. It’s also wise to include a brief sentence of two on the vehicles recent service history and the reason for why you want to sell the vehicle.
Almost all potential buyers who view your vehicle will want a test drive. Before you begin getting into your vehicle you need to ensure that whoever is test driving your vehicle is comprehensively insured to do so.
Other things you need to consider are that you should never at any point leave your car keys with the buyer unattended and if you’re switching seats, you should ensure that the engine is switched off whilst you change.
At all times, try to be pleasant and polite to the buyer and allow them to take as much time as needed to inspect all areas of your vehicle.
Most buyers will inevitably want to negotiate over the price. In order to prepare yourself for this, take into consideration your satisfactory payment range and make sure that the final price is not below the lowest price in your mind.
Finally, make sure you’re happy with the final payment method and make sure that any cheques are cleared before you let the buyer take the car.
Be sure you have the following documents:
- A Blank Deed of Sale (these can be purchased at most book stores)
- Certificate of Registration
- Original Receipt
